Summary:

"The focus of this book is the paradoxical effect on mental health of social crises. When social crises occur, there is an upsurge in psychological suffering due to an intensification of such social insanities as violence, inequality, selfishness, stupidity, and insecurity. Paradoxically, there are positive consequences for mental health due to the proliferation of acts of kindness, cooperation, and community, and the persistence of the ability to cope and hope. The book will be of interest to students, practitioners, and researchers from sociology, psychology, nursing, social work, and psychiatry, among others"-- Provided by publisher.
